    picked up the car today...the mechanic was like that was a sitnch...

    He was like...I have a tool where it has a claw at the end...the more I turn it the harder it grabs...and her said a little heat...and boom they came right out...

    But I do have the say...after replacing the pitmans and the front sway bar links the car feels sooooo much more solid

    but I noticed that when I was down there...that one of the rear sway bars links bushing is shot...is that worth replacing or should I just leave it? I hope I don't snap that bad boy too...I would never show my face again! haha

    I think I will...I have to order the part first...but I am waiting for Pelican parts to get the better tranny filter in so I can order that and do it all at the same time.

    Any recommendations on tranny filters and gaskets?

    All I can say is wear a condom on your head! It is damn messy to do this job on jackstands - ask me how I know! I can't remember which ones I ordered but if in doubt - take a look at what BMA sells - they usually have the good stuff.

    BMA - CRP $40

    AutohauzAZ - Meistersatz $26

    p.s. I have never heard of CRP...anyone know anything about it?

    PelicanParts seeks really highly of this brand (Elring Klinger) but they have non in stock...they rate Meistersatz as GOOD and dont even stock CRP

    What to do?

    I checked my records (and Arizona's )

    I went with Meistersatz

    Not sure I used any logic other than it was reasonable price. Others may have more reason

    Yea I imagine that there should not be that much of a difference but I want to be as sure as possible before I pull the trigger
